Mann & Federlein was one of the legendary Solingen straight razor manufacturers. The hallmark of its production line was the Mannos Sahara. The one pictured here is a 6/8 full hollow round point with the original scales.

The razor is in superb condition, except for the missing decal on the handle. It had partly peeled off, so I removed it completely. Also, there are a few water marks on the blade, which is a given around my house, since Satan swims in my water.

The razor took a glorious edge from the start. It's a fabulous shaver with a stereophonic audio feedback, and it is shave ready. I would not have sold it, but the money needs to go toward the Obie Yadgar book publishing fund.

The razor is rare. You, therefore, not only will have a magnificent shaver and a handsome razor, but also a collector's item.

The price is $150 shipped U.S. Overseas is extra. Paypal is fine. No e-checks or trades, please. Thanks.

The notch and shank look like a beefed up version of the Heljestrand MKs. It looks like it would be very comfortable. The blade's finish looks very clean.
And what a great price for a unique 6/8 Solingen in great shape!

Members need not bother trying to find a better deal on the bay or elsewhere.

For that matter, members need not bother trying to find a better gentleman to deal with. I've been quite fortunate to have numerous opportunities to work with Obie; each exchange was met with warm personable communication and descriptions that are spot. Your transaction will be smooth.. remarkable..

Hello Mike,
You're kind, my friend. Thank you. Yes, I know your love of the square point. This one, however, is an incredible shaver. It is also about as hollow as you're going to get, producing almost a symphonic sound of buttering toast.
I have gone back and forth on whether to keep the razor or let it go — the tab goes toward my book publishing fund. It will withdrawn tonight and I'll keep it.
Stay well.
